Not a problem

Yep.
1. UKIOS, according to all sources, were always going to approve the CVA. This has simply been ratified today.
2. But it means little until UBIG also approve the CVA.
3. UBIG currently have their shares frozen by the Lithuanian government - so are not in a position to approve/reject the CVA.
4. Indications are, were they/when/if they are in a position to do so, they will be a lot less sympathetic than UKIOS.
The CVA is only really 'approved' subject to 2, 3 & 4, so behind the yam semantics, it is not approved at all.
What we shall see now is a wildly optimistic crowing from Gorgie, with spokespersons for FOH and the Scottish media talking about a 'timetable for the exit of administration' which they can't possibly know, as this is, and has always been, subject to the on-going investigations by the Lithuanian authorities, which may result in the unfreezing of UBIG shares, and, also, a positive decision on the CVA made by UBIG administrators.
If the investigations are concluded swiftly, and UBIG admins sympathetic to Hearts plight, FOH will claim it as a great victory. (Then they will **** themselves, quickly realising that they have an unworkable business model to finance an SPL club). If they drag on, and/or the UBIG admins are hostile to the CVA, there will be grumblings this winter at how they are being 'pushed to the brink of extinction' by anonymous foreigners.
Either way, it remains completely out of their hands. Basically, today was a pretty meaningless vote other than a symbolic 'bread-and-circuses' morale boost for the Jambos. The December fixture card, and (hopefully, though we don't know) on-going protracted investigations by the the Lithuanian government and/or a hostile UBIG admin, should tarnish that gloss somewhat.
Some trolling getting done in here like. PB's been quoted quite a bit in Brokeback... They are back to their jovial ways 1902 5-1 blah blah.
But as I've earlier said they will always be the club that robbed charities and local business's and didn't pay their way.., cheated their way to this and that.
For you all looking in .... Still a long way to go for the club with no shame.
C'mon uncle Boab get yur finger oot and scupper their plans.
My money is on their hands being tied by the frozen shares. I'm sure they would be happy to react, either positively, or negatively if they could. However, as you perhaps suggest, they might be playing a longer ball game, which could only involve the PBS, as Hearts sole real asset.
I think that there might be a number of other parties wanting to get their grubby paws on the shares as as your rightly mentioned Bob it's their only real asset.
UBIG probably know this and there might even be a bidding war In which we know the FOH won't be able to bid anymore in cos they are rooked.
It is still a case of tick tock for me
Guys cheer up, It's friday, we're Hibs fans, we're no them, we haven't robbed anyone, we can hold our heads high, we don't don't cheating.
Really hope I make it onto jobbieback with this :greengrin

Hearts administrator Bryan Jackson tells BBC Scotland it will be March or April before club exits administration
Has anything actually changed from about 10 days ago that we didn't really know about? I dont think it has. We knew the Ukio admin team were going to accept the CVA. It was reported last week on here. Its now upto FOH to get hold of the UBIG shares.
Why did the UBIG admin team abstain their vote and not just accept the CVA and get away from the whole situation? Sounds to me they obviously want some cash for them. I reckon a few hundred grand will do it tbh. My question is, can anyone bid for these shares?

Adomonis of Ukio admins: "I should admit the fact that our decision has a substantial part of emotion in it" #heartscva
:greengrin I'm sure the Lithuanian taxpayer will be delighted.
The frozen shares and the PBS are the crucial parts to this jigsaw and any outcome.
Me too.
By which time it is possible BDO will have ran out of money ! FOH fund their operations without knowing if the C.V.A. will be delivered ?
He has pulled a few pints though !
Why would they be? UBIG stand to get nothing other than possibly what they can get from selling their shares.
UKIO had a real motive to reject the CVA if they thought they could sell the PBS to someone else for more money. Now they've accepted the proposal from FoH, why would UBIG stand in the way?
